Regular Maintenance

The maintenance activities to ensure a good condition for your Vermeiren patient hoist are
described below:

BEFORE EACH USE
1. Check the brakes for visible damage and/or dirt. Remove any dirt as it could
impair the motion and grip of the wheels. If a caster is damaged, please go to an
authorised workshop to get it repaired.
2. Check that the electrical adjustment of the cantilever arm is working properly,
using the manual control. If this functionality is impaired, contact your specialist
dealer.
3. Ensure that the batteries are sufficiently loaded for the intended use and recharge
them as required.
4. Check the patient hoist (cleanliness, cracks, damage on structural parts, ...) and
make it clean. If necessary change the coating.

APPROX. EVERY 8 WEEKS
Depending on the frequency of use, check the following:
1. lubrication of the joints of the cantilever arm
2. condition of the casters
3. whether there is any visible damage to the casing of the control box, battery and
the manual controls
4. whether the cables are fit for use
5. recharge the battery

APPROX. EVERY 6 MONTHS OR FOR EVERY NEW USER
Depending on the frequency of use check the following:
1. cleanliness
2. general condition
3. that the charger is working
